The National Equity Atlas, launched almost two years ago, features racial breakdowns of numerous economic and related data, such as median hourly wages, unemployment and educational attainment, so policymakers, researchers and anyone can see clearly who is benefiting from the economy and who is being left behind. Sarah Treuhaft, director of equitable growth initiatives at PolicyLink, which created the atlas with the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, remembers presenting it for the first time at a conference.
